Robert Freeman: The Real Top Ten Stories of the Past Decade
The collapse of the media. We once imagined it would guard the hen house. Yet that was an anomaly, a freak event around Vietnam and Watergate when it slipped its leash. Since then, sixty independent media outlets have consolidated into five, all retailing the ideology of the powerful, the perpetrators, laundering their lies, covering up the truth, and harassing the truth tellers. In every story mentioned above, the mainstream media have worked to ensure that the people didn’t know the truth about the forfeiture of their government, their wealth, their security, and their rights.

I agree that this is a much better assessment of the top stories of 2000-2009 than most of those I have seen. But why (in #2) does he stop with just the PNAC “new Pearl Harbor” and the famous intelligence briefing? Why does he take the LIHOP (let it happen on purpose) position and not take the next logical step to the MIHOP (made it happen on purpose) position? There certainly is mounting evidence that such is the case, from the whitewash of the 9/11 Commission Report to the debunked Popular Mechanics articles to the weak NIST and FEMA reports on the collapse of WTC 7.
Maybe the second decade of this century will see new revelations that prove once and for all that 9/11 WAS an inside job.
Peace.
